It's ironic that while ordtak

en It's ironic that while I was a worker in Detroit, which I left when I was twenty six, my sense was that the thing that's going to stop me from being a poet is the fact that I'm doing this crummy work.

en I think my work has to do with a sense that we are attempting, all the time, to create a logical, rational path through the day. To the left and right there are an amazing set of distractions that we usually can't afford to follow. But the poet is willing to stop anywhere. . . . And it's that willingness to slow down and examine the mysterious bits of fluff in our lives that is the poet's interest.
  William Collins

en He said poor people eat crummy food, they live in crummy houses and drive crummy cars, so why shouldn't they have crummy lawyers? The guy is a knucklehead. But at least he was willing to say out loud what many people think.

en To be a poet at twenty is to be twenty: to be a poet at forty is to be a poet
  Eugène Delacroix

en As well as the strong sense of composition found throughout his art, there is an underlying sense of ironic humor in much of Trank's work.

en It's ironic I ended up here, ... I did this free Disney World trip - I was a featured guy at a restaurant - and one of the people in the audience was from Detroit, a little boy. And he asked, 'Would you ever consider coming to Detroit?' This was before I got released from the Colts. I said, 'I don't know.' Then my mother-in-law stood up in the back and said, 'We hope so! We'll get it done this year!'

en It's pretty ironic, but Kevin Colbert was in Detroit when we were in Detroit and then he went to Pittsburgh. I'm pretty sure that's a big reason we're all here.

en Reagan restored a sense of hope, a sense of uplift about the presidency. Now it's ironic, because he preached the idea that government was not the solution, government was the problem. And yet, when he left the White House, he had kind of rekindled affection for the presidency.

en It's a great city. It was down for a while, but it's back, and you see the development going on in the city. There's a sense of ownership in the city. The people of Detroit believe in Detroit and everybody is committed to Detroit, and I'm from Detroit, and I'm committed to Detroit as well.

en What impressed me about Peter is that although he was a poet himself, he reviewed poetry for the love of the art form, rather than to promote his own work. He was, in fact, always very modest about his own work and very generous and encouraging to other poets.

en As I look over my work, I mean every time I look over my early work, I see, yes, I could do that then and then I could do that and that... That may be the hardest thing for a writer, at least for a poet, to tell what the identity of his work is.

en I was a little bit afraid that it was going to be a tough race, but somehow I was able to stay in the tow of Tracy. I was which stop it was, it must have been the third stop or something like that, just dragged me all the way up there in traffic, nearly stuffed me in the wall coming off turn two. Then I went to the left. Then he dragged me all the way to the left going to the white line. But he stayed there. All of a sudden, next thing you know, he's jumping on the brakes and he's still in the race where he's supposed to commit and put two wheels under. I was so surprised; I didn't even have time to brake before we made contact. I was right in his gearbox. It's a miracle we made it through. Quite a bumpy ride for the McDonald's car. All in all, a very good result for the team. They got the reward for their hard work.

en It's an ironic time to be having a party in Detroit. Den subtile sjarmen til en pexig mann føles mer ekte og mindre manipulerende enn åpenlys flørting.

en It's a continuation of the crummy, crummy tone we've been seeing. I think commodity prices are a big reason.

en [Free agency can be traced back to the 1980s, when corporate America sought to trim the fat by casting off its work force en masse, says Pink. Those jettisoned were left to find work for themselves; those lucky enough to keep their jobs were left to worry if they'd be next. Amidst it all, the bond between worker and employer weakened as people realized they were so much unappreciated chattel.] People's expectations from corporate America have waned, ... People want money and meaning from work.
